That seems like a server with a weird setup to me. It is hard to work with
such a beast.

That works for when libcurl is to change or not change directory to where it
is about to operate. But when a connection is re-used, libcurl will go back to
the original path first before trying the new path and in your case the
original path is "/"...

You can work around your stupid server by simply making sure you don't re-use
the connection for subsequent requests as then libcurl won't try to issue "CWD
/".
